Azure portal is down due to DDoS #azure
After installing #KB5022842 (February Tuesday patch) on VMware 6.7 the server will not boot if the Secure Boot is enabled.
Kevin BeaumontI obviously don’t have my tweet thread any more to add to it, but somebody is doing automated destructive attacks on VMware ESXi with 2021 vulns. At the time, to their credit, VMware were very clear in customer comms that not patching could lead to ransomware. #ESXiArgs https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/massive-esxiargs-ransomware-attack-targets-vmware-esxi-servers-worldwide/
Massive ESXiArgs ransomware attack targets VMware ESXi servers worldwide
Admins, hosting providers, and the French Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-FR) warn that attackers actively target VMware ESXi servers unpatched against a two-year-old remote code execution vulnerability to deploy ransomware.
Greg Egan404 errors and blue screens of death are so boring, and even display-memory corruption looks a bit hackneyed. Tech should fail in more evocative ways, with glyphs coming unstuck and plummeting towards the bottom of the screen, burning up from friction as they descend.

Our hosting provider decided to upgrade firewall version one evening in the middle of the week. They informed one team member who neglected the email, so I didn't know. All customer's websites went down and monitoring kicked in with an avalanche of alerts. I called the hotline but nobody was picking up. Not even the CEO, it was already midnight.
Imagine horror when I logged on and saw firewall config changed with new entries. I already imagined all the data encrypted with ransomware.
Finally I called the sales rep and he managed to put me in touch with the support. They changed the config because new version didn't support the old settings. That in turn blocked incoming traffic. Law of unintended consequences. Stayed until 4am troubleshooting and restoring services, but that's ok, that's our job.
Moral of the story, when everything else fails, call the sales rep 🙂
